The dwarf or compact plant architecture is an important trait in plant breeding. A number of genes controlling plant height have been cloned and functionally characterized which often involve in biosynthesis or signaling of plant hormones such as brassinosteroids (BRs). No genes for plant height or vine length have been cloned in cucurbit crops (family Cucurbitaceae). From an EMS-induced mutage...

Background. Preservation and expansion of the source material genetic diversity its purposeful use is basis for development adaptable spring durum wheat cultivars environments Western Siberia. Materials methods. The target research included promising Triticum Desf. developed in Spring Durum Wheat Breeding Laboratory Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center as well gene pool lines obtained under CIMMYT I...

Deepwater rice possesses internode elongation ability to avoid drowning under deepwater conditions. Previous studies identified three QTLs regulating internode elongation ability on chromosomes 1, 3 and 12 using different populations. However, these QTLs only induce internode elongation in response to deepwater conditions from the 7-leaf stage and not during the early leaf stage. In this study,...

Seagrass meadows provide a range of important ecosystem functions that can be influenced by both natural and anthropogenic pressures. One water quality for seagrass growth survival is turbidity. A study to observe impacts high turbidity morphometry was conducted in two islands i.e., Sabutung Bangko-Bangkoang Pangkep Regency. These are sediment load from several rivers Water column reducing the ...

A total of 33 sesame genotypes including three checks were grown in Randomized Block Design replications for evaluation yield and attributing traits. Data was recorded different traits from all the viz., days to 50 % flowering, number productive branches, plant height, height 1st capsule bearing node, capsules per plant, seeds capsule, length, inter-node maturity, 1000-grain weight, cent oil yi...

We show how discretization affects two major characteristics in complex networks: internode distances (measured as the shortest number of edges between network sites) and average path length, and as a result there are log-periodic oscillations of the above quantities. The effect occurs both in numerical network models as well as in such real systems as coauthorship, language, food, and public t...
